I emorieri re qfnacle 0 jlzwe . . . Wfhen the stage was completed, one of the most fascinating pieces of equipment, for young actors to explore, was the 41 foot spiral stair- case, or grid, leading up into the battens. Paula Palshis tried it out one day. School activities were kept straight by being posted on the bulletin board in the office conference room. Dick Fairchild and Priscilla Jackson, reserving a date for an event in which they were interested, put Il tag on the proper day of the month. Looking back on that exciting year of organizing a new school brings to mind isolated scenes, rather than a chronological picture of all the events that occurred. A new book might bring back memories of the beautiful libraryg a TV play would call to mind long weeks of practice for the play or the Spectaeularg a song on the Hit Parade would recreate the atmos- phere of the Valentine or Christmas dance. The fash- ions for teen-agers in 1956-57 were an important item in the book of memories. Other recollections concerned classes, the friends met each day, and events, both happy and sad, that made up a once-in- a-lifetime year.

The snack bar became a popular rendezvous for those who had to wait until a later bus arrived. Here and there a lone student made up a test. Teachers piled up books and papers to take home for a long evening of grading. On some afternoons the sound of variety act prac- ticing echoed through the halls. Even at night the building was in use. On Tuesdays, adults came to evening school for two and a half hours of work on hobbies and useful arts. Occasionally the odor of food filtered through the building as the cooks prepared a dinner for guests. Often groups of people chattered happily as they decorated the Student Center for a dance. The building took on life and color as it became more and more a community center of activity. The beautiful Student Center was completed just in time for the Christmas Formal sponsored by the Student Council. Pretty girls in evening dresses and boys in Sunday clothes danced to Steve HayWard's music in a setting of pine boughs, and other seasonal decorations. The freshman-decorated tree added a final touch of Christmas. Couples stood under the portico at the back entrance for fresh air.
